There's a very good chance, if you're seeing a NP, that the NP has a lot more experience with that sort of condition than the docs. After all, the practice is sending those sorts of issues to the NP. My dad's a radiologist, but they haven't assessed a minor break in decades, because they're very subspecialized.
If it's unusual or complex, the NP is probably the first to say "we'll need to make an appt with Dr. So and So".
